"Because our fifteen year-old car wouldn't pass a smog check so we had a new catalytic converter put in but then it still wouldn't pass a smog check because we have to drive the car ninety miles to re-set the computer and apparently we've only driven about forty miles so far and I couldn't tell because our odometer doesn't work and also I didn't have our updated insurance in the car and mommy was irresponsible and didn't start this process three months ago when she should have."

This same thing happened to me, except without the booger-check, and it was the THIRD time being stopped for the same expired tag and the officer said he was supposed to impound my car and my son was in the car WITHOUT a car seat. All I could say was "have mercy on me". I wish Bob had been there to remind me of the important things in life like clean noses and responsible booger disposal.

so sorry. but do you want to hear something that will make you feel better? i convinced terry to trade in our otherwise-fine-except-we-can't-pass-emissions car so that we did't have to buy a new catalytic converter. i'm pretty sure we spent more in the new car process than we would have had we bought the damn c.c. lazy and irresponsible.

Such a Monday. Boomtown Rats had it right re: the Mondays. I love the reflection photo and am, of course, sorry about the car mess and the Case of the Disappearing Booger. BTW: hate the word "booger." Thanks for fostering this little bit of self-knowledge.
